Indiana officials reported 541 new cases of coronavirus Tuesday, lifting the statewide total to 21,033 with much of the state in a second phase of reopening.

Indiana officials also reported 62 additional deaths as a result of the virus in the last 24 hours. The state’s death toll now sits at 1,213, though health officials noted an additional 113 "probable deaths."

"Probable deaths are those for which a physician listed COVID-19 as a contributing cause based on X-rays, scans and other clinical symptoms but for which no positive test is on record," the Indiana Department of Public Health said in a statement.
